At the data center: fewer servers, no squandered energy, no wasted resources.

Internet applications need a
new operational paradigm as badly as does the auto industry, and for many of the
same reasons. The existing paradigm of browsers, web servers and text-based scripts,
pages, program code and data is equivalent to a car running at eight miles per gallon
at a maximum speed of 45 miles per hour on a perfectly smooth, wide, uncongested
and level highway. Heat-emitting servers, proliferating in energy-burning data centers,
strain to handle endless streams of costly, yet trivial requests from unthinking
client computers. Rivers of network traffic convey trickles of actual payload information.
And client computers flail away at tasks that insult their intelligence while barred
from tasks that would lighten the load at the data center and everywhere in between.

For simple page delivery Veriquant offers no challenge
to the existing paradigm. But for serious, data-intensive applications involving
prolonged user interaction, five servers could be reduced to one; bandwidth consumption
and network traffic could be cut as much, and user productivity would rise as pauses
and latencies are eliminated.

To this end Veriquant offers not merely a new data
management platform, the Veriquant
Framework, and not merely a medical practice management application built on that platform, the
Veriquant medFramework, but a
new way of using the internet. The case could be made on environmental grounds alone.
Our objective is nothing less than to increase, by an order of magnitude, the speed,
efficiency and power of online, data-intensive computing.
